Chapter 766 Chapter 766 Agricultural Inspection
There is an earthy fragrance in the moist air.On the land in the field, there are busy figures everywhere.

Even though it was raining here a few months ago.But for many places, this year has been a good one.

good harvest.For a farmer, it is happiness.After working hard for a whole year, being able to get rewards from the fields is the beginning of everything.

If you just look at this place, it seems that the world is extremely peaceful.If you just look at this place, it seems that the war has long gone.

Because of becoming an industrial country early, Tang's agriculture is also more developed.Not only are there no exorbitant taxes, but there are even abundant agricultural subsidies.

After the layers of exploitation by the landlord class and nobles were eliminated, the income of farmers in the Tang State was more than a little higher than that of other countries.This has also made farmers' enthusiasm for farming unprecedentedly high, and they have basically achieved self-sufficiency.

The vastness of the land has the benefits of the vastness of the land. Although some places in the Tang Dynasty suffered disasters, some places had unprecedented harvests due to the wet spring and summer.

Tang's technology in grain breeding and chemical fertilizers is unmatched by other countries, and the increase in grain production is a matter of course.

Under the premise that chemical fertilizers such as urea can be used, the increase in yield per mu is simply inevitable.Coupled with the optimization of seeds, the common people of the Tang country no longer have to rely on the face of God to eat.

Therefore, even though many places in the southern region have no harvests, the grain production in the northern part of the Tang Kingdom can still ensure that the food security of the entire country will not be affected.

The farmers in the north, who had received food subsidies themselves, lived very well this year, and this state made them even more supportive of the Datang Kingdom, which had ruled here for three years.

Compared with the Qi State in the past, Tang State performed better in every aspect, and the common people who enjoyed the welfare made the most pragmatic choice.

On a field full of golden ears of wheat, a train full of fuel was slowly heading north, its destination was Beiyuan City. Recently, there have been many such tanker trucks, and the local farmers are no longer surprised by them.

A young official walking barefoot in the farmland, wearing a straw hat, looks just like the farmer next to him.

But the people here know that he is actually the consul, a "big official" who wants to manage several nearby villages.

It was this consul who brought the seeds of new varieties, which allowed everyone to increase their income last year, and every family had a good year.

The poor who needed to borrow to survive in the past now have a little savings.Everyone thanked this young man and called him an adult willingly.

"The number of ducks and chickens in every household must be counted. There is no need to pay taxes on this part, so there is no need to hide it!" The young man explained to the village chief who followed him while walking on the ridge of the field. road.

He is here for inspection this time. As a consul, he must understand the details of grain production and people's livelihood in his jurisdiction, otherwise he will not even pass the year-end assessment.

Mediocre officials have no future in the Great Tang Kingdom, but anyone who has any expectations for his official career will not just sit in the office and read all kinds of praise reports.

"Yes, I understand." The village head respects the consul very much. Even though he was an official of Zheng State, the young man in front of him is more professional than him when it comes to governing the place. many.

The gap between the old bureaucrats and the new officials is huge. The selection system and learning content of the two sides are very different. In the eyes of the old bureaucrats, the current officials of the Tang Dynasty are more like officials than officials.

These young consuls learn very mechanized and targeted governance methods in school: they are familiar with how to borrow money to build roads, how to increase land output, and how to improve the happiness of the people. The kind of do-it-yourselfer who is willing to do things.

Their methods of controlling the people are simple and rude: those who are obedient will get benefits and get money, and those who are disobedient will be abandoned, and they can only watch others become rich.

This set of theories, combined with the cautious and apprehensive peasant households who migrated from outside, have created the orderly grassroots society of Tang Dynasty today.

The displaced farmers who came from afar without a poor background can only be resettled and receive basic living supplies by following the arrangements of these Tang officials, which makes them have to obey orders.

Then because they obeyed the orders, they reaped the benefits and became rich-so they believed more in the officials who ordered them, and more in favor of the kingdom.

This is a virtuous circle. Over the past two or three years, under the general trend of continuous improvement in living standards, the people have become more and more obedient to Tang's management system.

Because of their trust in the officials, the common people almost unconditionally cooperate with the officials' policies. With the blessing of concerted efforts, the implementation of the officials' plans and decisions will be more effective.

Because of their support for the country, the people can even temporarily give up their immediate interests, choose to trust their own country, and wait for the country to give them better promises.

Therefore, when they heard that there was a disaster in the southern region, the northern region immediately provided a large amount of food and materials to support their brothers.

It was precisely because these ordinary people recognized their identity as Tang people that they joined the army enthusiastically after the outbreak of the war, raising Tang's armed forces from hundreds of thousands to millions in one go.

"The production of cattle and sheep in the northern pastoral areas has also increased this year, so the price should fluctuate downwards. If there is a surplus, you can purchase some to improve everyone's food." The consul bent down and touched the full grain, satisfied nodded.

"How can this be done? How dare you eat meat after only eating enough for a few days!" The village head was taken aback when he heard the young man's words, and then quickly waved his hands to explain: "My lord, why don't you pass on the balance and let every household eat meat?" household expenses."

"Isn't collective purchasing cheap? This way you can get more points..." The young man paused here, as if he had realized something, and then asked, "Is there something wrong with my thinking?"

"The subordinates dare not speak rashly about the decision of the adults, but the subordinates believe that this year of good harvest is rare. If they don't accumulate some, I am afraid that something will happen like the disaster in the south, and the people may..." The village chief Quickly explained.

The young man nodded, realizing that his idea was a bit too ideal—although purchasing a batch of beef and mutton can make the people have a good year, it really doesn't seem as realistic as paying for it.

So he immediately listened to the suggestion of the village chief. After all, the mediocrity of the official of Zheng State is indeed a bit mediocre, but when it comes to living a hard life, he is much more down-to-earth than the airborne consul: "You are right, distribute the balance It was right to go down."

"Purchasing should still be based on salt. Let the people eat enough first and have a surplus, so that people's hearts can be stabilized." As he walked forward, he praised the village chief who was following him: "I heard that before you As the city lord, he has much more experience than me."

"I have wasted more than ten years of my life, and I have never had a commoner in my heart. I am really ashamed. Now that I can work under your lord, it is a redemption for the sins of the past. I don't want to benefit one party...just want the rest of my life I can have a clear conscience..." The village head, who was at least in his fifties, said with shame on his face.

"It's a good thing to be able to correct mistakes. Cherish this opportunity and don't make mistakes again. Because next time, you will not be an official of Zheng State. You have learned the punishment standards of Tang State officials." The young consul struck out, Then he continued: "Your evaluation this year is about A-[-], which is quite good, and you must continue to maintain it."

"I'm ashamed, I thank you sir." The village head beamed with joy and thanked immediately.

You know, it's not easy to get this first-level official evaluation. A first-level evaluation is a kind of affirmation for local officials, and there are corresponding rewards at the end of the year.

"You really should thank me... I'm a Yiyi!" The young consul smiled and continued to walk forward: "Didn't you say that a new fish pond has been dug in the village? It's a good thing! Let's go and have a look !"

"Yes! This subordinate will take the adults there to have a look! The fourth Liu who digs fish ponds is also a smart guy. He saw someone doing this on the way here, so he wanted to try it too..." The village chief immediately Take two quick steps and lead the way ahead.

"Good thing! If the people dare to think about it, we must support it! For technical matters, we should consult the people in the agricultural support team, and we must not let the people who dare to try lose their money!" The consul spoke from behind.

"That's it! That's for sure! Speaking of it, the subordinates really admire the adults in the support group, as if they know everything, helped Liu Laosi design a fish pond, and found fish fry. One even I just stayed by the fish pond, taking care of those young fry day and night, more than Liu Lao Si himself." The village chief mentioned this, with a bit of admiration in his tone.

"It is estimated that next year, Liu Laosi will be the wealthiest family in your village." The consul was familiar with this process and said with some emotion.

Naturally, he has experience in this area. Whether it is in Bunas or Long Island, those farmers who do not cultivate the land first will become richer faster.They have the mind to seek change, and they have the technical support of Tang officials, so they can avoid most of the risks and naturally make more profits.

"Then our village will dig fishponds next year..." The village head immediately made up his mind.

"Stop! You have to ensure that your village meets the grain production targets, otherwise you will let your village buy cars from door to door, and the evaluation will be a second-class one at most!" The young consul immediately warned: "I will put my words here , if you fail to meet the target for next year, A[-] will become B[-]!"

"How can it be, how can it be!" The village chief scratched his head in embarrassment, and continued to lead the way with a smile on his face.
